feature_engineering.py
======================

Feature pipeline for the CYB005 baseline classifier.

Predicts `actor_capability_tier` (4-class) from per-timestep ransomware
campaign telemetry on the CYB005 sample dataset.

CSV inputs:
    attack_timelines.csv    (primary, one row per timestep, 500 campaigns
                             x 75 timesteps = 37,489 rows)
    victim_topology.csv     (per-segment defender configuration, joined
                             on target_segment_id; one row per segment)
    campaign_summary.csv    (per-campaign aggregates; reserved for future
                             work - many fields are post-hoc outcomes that
                             would leak the tier through training)
    campaign_events.csv     (discrete event log; reserved for future work)

Target classes (4):
    lone_actor, organised_syndicate, raas_affiliate, nation_state_nexus

Sample size note
----------------
CYB005's sample is intentionally larger than its sister datasets (500
campaigns vs 100 in CYB002/3/4). The README states this is because
"benchmarks are conditional on small actor-tier subsets". The larger
sample makes tier attribution genuinely learnable here, where it was
not in CYB003/CYB004.

Leakage audit
-------------
Three columns inspected for tier leakage:
- `attribution_risk_score` - mean 0.016-0.026 across tiers, ranges
  overlap heavily. NOT an oracle; keep.
- `living_off_land_score` - mean 0.05 (lone) to 0.20 (nation_state),
  with substantial overlap (std 0.08-0.25). Real observable, not
  an oracle; keep.
- `attack_phase` - 89% purity vs `detection_outcome` (recovery_in_progress
  is a 1:1 alias), but for TIER prediction it has no oracle relationship.
  Keep.

No columns are dropped for tier prediction. The model is trained on what
a SOC analyst would actually see at observation time.
